The Buckeyes will attempt to win their 10th straight conference game tonight off Lane Avenue in Value City Arena. The Buckeyes are led by Player of the Year candidate Evan Turner. Since Evan returned from two broken vertabrae in his back - the Buckeyes are 10-2. On the season they are 17-3 with Turner manning the point, and 3-3 with their superstar on the sidelines. Turner is averaging 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 steals per game, but the Bucks resurgence has been a team effort.

Dallas Lauderdale's physical play on the inside, Kyle Madsens ability to stretch the paint, Diebler's outside shooting, and David Lighty and WIlliam Buford's athleticism has sparked a team that is playing as well as any team in the country right now. While Ohio State boasts one of the best players in the country - it has become clear that the Buckeyes strongest asset is their sheer volume of 'go-to' players. There are four players on the team that have exploded for 20+ points on more than one occasion.

Coach Jim Tressel and his staff picked up two quarterbacks, two running backs, three defensive linemen and several other quality prospects, but everyone will be talking about the loss of several major players from within Ohio's borders.
